> There doesn't have to be a zero-sum battle between those who benefit from AA and those who don't. When resources (jobs, college admissions slots, government funding for programs, etc.) are scarce, there often will be. When I was in college, one of my classes included a unit on public speaking. We were encouraged to speak on a contentious topic and attempt to be persuasive. On the day I presented, I sat through multiple presentations on the subject of affirmative action. All of them were against it on the basis that it hurt certain ethnic groups. None of the people presenting on that subject were white. (Me? I was ranting against DRM. Not important.)
